Narrative

A small lake at 550 m elevation on the uppermost Koettlitz bench, 0.5 mi E of Blackwelder Glacier in Victoria Land. Named in recognition of the glacial geomorphological work done in the Koettlitz Glacier area by Troy L. Pewe (Pewe Peak, q.v.) of the Univeristy of Alaska. It was near this lake that members of the VUWAE, 1960-61, found a note left by Pewe, reporting observations on glacial erratics. Named by the VUWAE party.
